Time To Vote For Which Place Matters Most

Newtown Woman’s Club, GWFC, with The Newtown Bee, has been presenting photos once each month since the beginning of the year of locations in town that are important. Each photo in the series, which has been called “This Place Matters,” has been accompanied by a brief history of the location photographed. Woman’s Club members Jo Ann Bruno and Anna Wiedemann have posed in front of each location, once each month.

Now residents are being asked to choose their favorite This Place Matters location. During the month of September, everyone is invited to select their favorite location(s) and vote, as many times as you would like, at $1 per vote, for their favorite location(s).

Look for the ballot boxes and voting envelopes at each location. Vote once — or vote as many times as you’d like — for your This Place Matters.

Ballot boxes will be set up at Everything Newtown (formerly The Drug Center), 61 Church Hill Road; The Newtown Bee office, at 5 Church Hill Road; C.H. Booth Library, 25 Main Street; Newtown Municipal Center, 3 Primrose Street; and Stop & Shop in Sand Hill Plaza, 228 South Main Street.

Those who are unable to get to one of the voting locations and would like to participate can send a check payable to Newtown Woman’s Club GFWC, Inc., PO Box 101, Newtown CT 076470. Be sure to indicate your choice(s) on the menu line or attach a note if you are choosing more than one.

All proceeds from this friendly competition will benefit Newtown Historical Society. The winning location will be recognized in October.
